I'm afraid to read poetry because of the fear that it'll turn me into a subvocalizing retard. Anyone have that experience? Did reading poetry have a detrimental effect on your reading speed and enjoyment of prose?

Read poetry, read difficult texts, read in multiple languages, learn to love ambiguity and multiple meanings, and appreciate reading slowly and leisurely meditating upon texts like a sophisticated Human Being rather than flipping pages like some mercantile ADHD-ridden productivity monkey.
